The Sandbox Announces DanceFight VoxEdit Contest

A Canvas for Voxel Artists

The DanceFight VoxEdit Contest by The Sandbox is not just another competition; it's a celebration of creativity and innovation. In the first stage, voxel artists from around the globe are invited to put their skills to the test. Using the VoxEdit tool, participants are tasked with designing a Non-Playable Character (NPC). 

But there's a twist: each NPC must be equipped with an original dance move, reflecting its unique personality and essence. This stage is all about imagination, and animation, providing artists with a platform to express themselves like never before.

Stage 2: Where Virtual Meets Reality

After the initial showcase of talent, the top 16 artists from Stage 1 will be ushered into an even more exhilarating phase: The DanceFight Showdown. Here, the lines between the virtual and real worlds blur. Participants will collaborate with professional dancers from DanceFight to replicate a specific dance move in the virtual realm.

But the excitement doesn't end there. The contest has a generous prize pool waiting for its winners. A total of 20 winners will emerge from Stage 2, with a whopping 16,500 SAND to be distributed among the top voxel artists. The breakdown is as follows:

• 1st place: 6,000 SAND
• 2nd place: 3,500 SAND
• 3rd place: 2,000 SAND
• 4th to 8th place: 500 SAND each
• 9th to 16th place: 250 SAND each

In addition to the SAND prizes, the top four dancers will share a cash prize of $300, with the first-place winner taking home $200.

Additional Highlights and Guidelines

Winners also have the exclusive opportunity to mint their NPC, and in return, they will receive a unique Wild One Avatar. However, there's a condition: DanceFight reserves the right to feature the winning NPCs on their LAND during the upcoming Alpha Season 4.

To ensure the integrity of the contest, The Sandbox has set specific guidelines. Participants aiming for the top 5 positions or those wishing to be verified creators must undergo a KYC process. The criteria for judging are clear-cut, focusing on creativity, usability, optimization, detail, and animation quality.

For those new to VoxEdit or those who might hit a creative block, The Sandbox offers a plethora of resources. The VoxEdit Academy is a treasure trove of information, and the vibrant Discord community is always ready to assist, inspire, and collaborate.
